Meet Jamie Seaton

Owner, DCU Private Money

Jamie Seaton of D.C.U is a private money consultant who assists with the documentation entry of industry standard forms and compliance consulting of hard money transactions for, and under the supervision of, licensed Real Estate Brokers. Since the bursting of the speculative housing bubble in the late 2005's, there has been an increase in demand for non-institutional financing. This has led to several changes within existing bills, the Bureau of Real Estate and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

She began her career in Real Estate in 2000 as a property manager responsible for over 100 homes in Sonoma County and the offsite management of 3, 100+ unit, complexes in the Sacramento area. In 2002 she received her real estate appraiser's license and spent the following 7 years as a residential appraiser serving the Northern California area. Jamie is highly knowledgeable and experienced at valuing diverse properties of varying complexity. She left the appraisal industry after the New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with support from the Federal Housing Finance Agency, developed a new set of rules governing the appraisal industry which resulted in loss of pay and harsh demands of appraisers.

A majority of private money Brokers spend their time looking for deals and networking, however, this is tiring and time consuming. As a private money document preparer and compliance consultant, Jamie Seaton eliminates the worries and concerns that surface during a transaction by helping with inputting of information and review of documentation.​​
